---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We, the members of the Soka family, are the sowers of seeds. We sow the seeds of the Mystic Law, the supreme seeds of happiness and peace, spreading them far and wide.
"Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, writes: 'All the Buddhas of the three existences and the ten directions have invariably attained Buddhahood through the seeds represented in the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo'(WND-1,1015).
"The daimoku of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo that we chant and share with others is the seed that enables everyone, without exception, to attain enlightenment. It is the fundamental seed that causes the lotus flower of the life state of Buddhahood, pervading not just our planet but the entire universe, to bloom luxuriously.
"Kosen-rufu means working tirelessly to sow the seeds of the Mystic Law in the mire of this corrupt and defiled age and create a flower garden of happiness and peace."
June Editorial, We Are Sowing the Seeds of Buddhahood, from the June 2018 issue of Daibyaku Renge, translation released June 2018
